Puzzle grid lines
Lvl 440 "Puzzle Solving Guru" 132 Posts	Link to post - Posted July 1st 2012 at 9:27 AM Sarah Bye How about putting some grid/piece lines on the puzzles. If you're like me and start the puzzle before collecting all the pieces, it can be hard to find the correct spot for a particular puzzle piece if you are just guessing at an approximate spot where the piece may go. It gets especially hard when doing large puzzles like those in the Flex.

Lvl 212 "Power Player" 277 Posts	Link to post - Posted July 1st 2012 at 1:51 PM Bill Beard Still, like a real puzzle, it would be nice to see the finished product so that you aren't blindly guessing which piece goes where.

I typically wait until I have about 20% of the pieces before I start on the big puzzles since guessing where a single piece goes in the middle blindly is just silly. It's surprisingly easy once you've established some of the edges though. Also, chests almost always seem to appear in the very middle of the puzzle, so that helps as well.

You don't know whether it's going to be a chest, an exit, an NPC... you find out BY completing the puzzle. Like Nate said, start with the corners and edges and take it from there. Also what I do is, I start working on the puzzle already after finding some of the parts, and place corners/edges for an incomplete puzzle; that way after finding the rest of the pieces, I don't "drown" in them, I only have to fill in the gaps.

And what Nate said about corners and edges.
